Yes, another food blog.
One of the best things about writing this blog is the introduction to foods and dishes that I didn't know about beforehand. Today, I learned about chermoula! (Or charmoula - like so many words translated from the original Arabic, this one has more than one spelling.) When we decided to make our Tangy Moroccan Meatballs... Continue Reading →
Zucchini season may be over, but we can usually find decent looking ones in the fall around here. Sorry for not eating exactly seasonally, but you know what is perfectly fall-appropriate? A big bowl of soup! And what perfectly accompanies a nice big bowl of soup? Zucchini fritters. So in a roundabout way, zucchini fritters... Continue Reading →
We eat massive salads for dinner many nights. We never share them, because usually they're not all that organized - it's usually a look in the fridge, pull out some vegetables, and top them with a protein kind of adventure. Since it's Monday and the beginning of the week, we were a little more coordinated.... Continue Reading →
This is such a perfect summer dinner! Zucchini is usually so large and beautiful in the summer. And if you or a family member has a garden, you know that it is abundant this time of year. People are giving it away, begging everyone they know to take some! Try this dish, which features the... Continue Reading →
This post is alternatively titled: How to Make Your Vegetables Less Healthy. Just wanted to acknowledge that up front. Nothing makes vegetables yummier than bacon and cheese! Maybe you have picky little kids who you're trying to convince to eat something other than mac & cheese and frozen chicken nuggets (describing my brother Jeffrey from... Continue Reading →
I love cucumbers, but I basically eat them the same two ways over and over. (See: Fresh Avocado & Cucumber Salad & Mama Z’s Cucumbers) I've had this cucumber recipe pinned for literally years, but have never made it. It's been pinned more than 119,000 times! Apparently everyone likes a nice cucumber... I'm glad I finally tried... Continue Reading →
Update 7/1/17: Soooo... turns out my memory was faulty. After talking with Jon and our other friend/my old roommate Terry, we think I mentally combined Mama Z's recipe and Terry's. Too lazy to change the title and the whole post, so we'll just pretend - but give a quick shout to Terry and my muddled... Continue Reading →
Mmmmmm... shrimp! I feel like if you polled the world about their favorite seafood, shrimp would win hands down. Shrimp is like the gateway drug of seafood - even people who "hate seafood," seem to like shrimp. In fact, I'm pretty sure my sister's introduction to the seafood world was with deep-fried shrimp, doused in... Continue Reading →
Every time the new year rolls around, it seems like everyone makes a resolution involving weight loss, healthy eating, or general fitness. We've been eating zoodles for awhile now (see here, here, here, & here), but I think they're a great way to simultaneously cut calories and add more healthy vegetables to your dinners! This...

Technically this is our second New Year's Eve living in South Carolina, but the first one barely counts. We had just moved here, in a whirlwind month that not only included moving to a new state, but also getting married, honeymooning in Puerto Rico, and spending Christmas with Ally's family. I'm pretty sure there were... Continue Reading →
Bon Appetit Baby!
